Original Note:
This proposal would violate international law under the Hague convention of 1993, which requires all steps be taken to find surviving family or a suitable placement in the child's home country first. 'Expedited' adoptions, while they may be well-meaning, skip this step. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/Adoption-Process/understanding-the-hague-convention.html https://intercountryadopteevoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Victims-of-Illegal-Intercountry-Adoption-Speak-Out-to-the-UN.pdf
